If you're interested in finding out where the stimulus money is going, click on www.recovery.com.
Recovery.com, a Web site run by government-procurement researcher Onvia in Seattle, is seen to be faster at providing information on how stimulus funds are being spent than Recovery.gov, the federal government's Web site for that purpose. Information on Recovery.com is more up to date, and it tracks local contracts in real time. Onvia's data show that stimulus spending is slow, perhaps because of excessive caution about results, but businesses are eagerly awaiting funds to get started on projects.
